All of us at Rue, like the rest of the world, have been devastated by the destruction in Japan. So we are thrilled to team up with Tory Burch in a special “Wear Your Support” Boutique. Starting today, March 22, at 3PM ET, we will be selling a special edition Tory Burch T-shirt on Rue. All of the net proceeds will go to the American Red Cross in support of their relief efforts.

At every turn, our Members have shown us how much heart they have. This is the chance to show the rest of the world. We can’t wait to wear ours.
